#46710 [Opn->Ver]: Missing backslashes in manual pages

ID: 46710 Updated by: bjori@php.net Reported By: jchaffer at gmail dot com -Status: Open +Status: Verified Bug Type: Website problem Operating System: n/a PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: Gahh! You are totally right. The reason for this is PHP syntax highlighting.. PHP versions prior to PHP5.3.0 do not understand the syntax and silently ignore "weird syntax". We'll need to update the PHP version generating the manual.

This is especially noticeable in the documentation about namespaces; I was highly confused by much of the language until I realized some very important characters were missing from the code examples and descriptions! For an illustration of the problem, see: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.namespaces.faq.php Examples 1 and 2 are supposed to illustrate two different syntaxes, but because of this problem are identical. Nearly every page of the namespace section of the manual has an example of the issue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=46710&edit=1
